Play Dead, Stay Dead
(2026)(The second book in the Murder in Moonburrow series)
A novel by Sarah Spade
I never knew rooting through the trash would lead to this…
When Honey asks me to watch over Dough You Believe in Magic so she can go on a out-of-Moonburrow honeymoon with Sheriff Max, I reluctantly agree. We’re kind of, sort of friends now, and I don’t want to mess up her bakery, but the positive opossum insists that I can’t… I knew better, but I said ‘yes’ anyway.I’m regretting that now.
It was a silly mistake. I tossed the keys into the garbage, then threw it out in the dumpster. Good thing raccoons don’t mind digging through the trash because, once I shift, I go searching—and find another dead body behind Honey’s charmed bakery.
Only the gorgeous blond-haired, purple-eyed preppie opossum shifter isn’t dead dead… though tell that to the ghost that steps out of the shadows right as I scramble out of the dumpster.
He’s Ashton Morgan, Honey’s cousin and an opossum who played dead and, somehow, his soul left his body. Now he wants to know who ‘killed’ him, how to break the curse that’s keeping him from returning to his body, and how he ended up in Moonburrow in the first place—and he seems to think that I’m going to do everything I can to help him.
And, well, considering he’s my fated mate, I think I’ll have to before Ash goes from playing dead to staying dead.
